Smash's Sprite thread

[GeneralStrife]

Why was it disabled?

[Smash]

Go ask Zodiac



Dunno why he did it; I actually found BMP's more convenient than SPR's, due to the ease of editing and viewing them automatically on paint.

[Vanya]

Paint should be able to handle PNG's with no problems.

Paint should be able to handle PNG's with no problems.

The irony.

All this shit that has kept me from doing FFT stuff. Serves as good practice though.. Especially that for most of these, I've been applying color limits and recycling colors, spriting knowledge that I did not know before coming here and trying FFT style.

Well, I keep improving.

[Cheetah]

Wow I have to say I'm really impressed by all of it, except the dragon. Though how that actually turns out will likely be way different then what you have done so far. The coloring on that female bug is really impressive, I hope you show the final product here. The Bangaa continues to be astonishing. Any chance of an animated preview of that mario?

[Smash]

Well, Im preparing the game demo for the Mario stuff.. That's just a few of the poses it has.

And about the dragon.. I dunno if I'll finish it. It was the product of a temporary urge to sprite something big.. And I hadn't even yet started on it.

Yet, gonna focus the most time on the bangaa, and finish it once and for all, before I get lazy of it.

OMG...These are AWESOME!!!
I really wish I have a few % of your skills. Even 5 or 10% would be enough cause with these %, it will DEFINITELY make Llednar mug look so much better than what I have right now. And THAT, would DEFINITELY enable me to finish Llednar's mug.
But I guess I'm too suck at it. Haha.
Anyway, the dragon is really looking great. And Bangaa is definitely impressive and it'll definitely be an awesome sprite when it's finish.
And THAT FEMALE!!!!! OMG....THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!

[Vanya]

Very nice stuff. ^_^
I've the urge to do some mario stuff lately.
This might be what pushes me to do it.

[Xifanie]

crap, definitely impressive.

I really need to rework my spriting method, because tis is definitely at least 4 times better than what I can currently do.

[Oblivion]

This is really good Smash!

[Smash]

Update.. Been busy as shit.. Studying.


I've been absent this whole week.. Yet hopefully, this will all be over by this sunday, in which I will finally finish all these exams..
So far I can only offer quick previews of stuff i've been doing.





I'll bring more by then. Right now, I g2g.

Hmm I'm not sure about the bangaa armor. It looks to much like the bangaa just tried squizzing into a human squire outfit, the helmet is particularly off putting. I would recommend taking more inspiration from FFXII for design ideas for the bangaa, there was more personality and individuality in their designs in that game.

I'm not sure about the other sprite, is it supposed to be one of the pokemon guys? Decently animated, maybe do something with the bangs in the walking animation. Good to have you back Smash, though I have been gone too haha.

[DarthPaul]

Nice sprite for Gold. What is it for? Personal project or reference for an FFT sprite? Either way keep up the good work.

[Celdia]

The 'Gold' sprite makes me think of Ryoga from Ranma 1/2. Now I'm wondering if that's who its supposed to be or not.

[dwib]

i personally like the warrior bangaa but i think the skin needs some shading right next to the helmet. maybe just even one pixel on the left darkened because it looks like a sudden transition. try it and see if it's any better?

[Cheetah]

I was looking at some FFXII pics of Bangaas and was noticing that if they had head armor they generally started further back on their head.

Oh and I was looking back at old stuff you had done Smash and took another look at that dancer and female thief improvements you did. In retrospect they look really good and I like them. I'm not sure I said that at the time.

[Asmo X]

I think that Bangaa armour looks pretty good to be honest.

[jimmyjw88]

Yea, I think so too.

[Vanya]

Your Bangaa Warrior is freakin' awesome.
I can't say that there's anything I'd change.
I actually like that the helmet thing covers more of his head.
